PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Sr. Researcher

Compass Minerals, Overland Park, KS 2017-Present

Develop and implement methods for macro and micronutrients in fertilizers using

instruments such ICP-MS, FTIR, UV-VIS, IC, and CHNOS Elemental Analysis

Develop new macro and micro nutrient blends in fertilizers

Developing additives for salts to reduce caking, and spalling

Regular maintenance, training, and repairs for laboratory instrumentation

Provide technical support

Research Assistantship

University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY

2014-2016

Fabricated plasmonic devices and performed single molecule photophysical studies to

determine the effect of metal structures on single molecule fluorescence

Worked regularly in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge

National Laboratory (3+ years) to fabricate novel nanostructures for fluorescence

imaging such as zero-mode waveguides, gold nanobowties, and nanoporous silicon

nitride membranes

Wrote several successful user proposals for group access to CNMS facilities and supplies

Summer research fellowship in the Vosch lab at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Performed simultaneous single molecule fluorescence intensities, lifetimes, spectra,

blinking dynamics, and photon antibunching statistics

Developed an integrated microfluidic and nanopore imaging device to monitor single

ligand-receptor interactions on the plasma membrane of live cells

Built several custom microscopy setups for applications including confocal, TIRF, FLIM,

FCS, smFRET and alternating laser excitation (ALEX) - Used these techniques to study

DNA and protein systems inside of hybrid zero-mode waveguides

Built a custom microscope with the capability to perform high throughput TIRF (prism-

based) and FCS measurements

Coordinated and designed application specific confocal/widefield microscopy set ups

based collaborator needs, and led training/certification sessions for new users
